As an investigation continues into a school bus monitor accused of sexually abusing a mentally challenged teenager, some parents are questioning how the district has handled information about the incident.

State police charged Charles Kane III, 57, of Hopewell Junction with a second-degree criminal sexual act. He was arraigned in Wappinger Town Court early Tuesday and was sent to Dutchess County Jail on $10,000 bail, which officials said he posted later that day. He is due back in court today.
